Engineer working at a precision machine

The problem

Bottlenecks showed up as late deliveries and defects. Operations, logistics, and engineering had no shared performance framework.

What I did

  • Redesigned workflows across operations, logistics, and engineering around a performance-management framework, managing 7 direct reports.
  • Built the ERP make-vs-buy business case from vendor costs and internal requirements. Secured executive approval, $100K in annual savings.
  • Benchmarked pricing and expansion potential across 5 APAC countries. Secured board approval to launch in Japan, a $300K+ revenue opportunity.
